G Suite is now Google Workspace

Whether screen sharing a board report or sending an instant message to your teammate, the ways in which we communicate with one another have come a long way since two cans and a string.

This past fall, Google announced that it was making a renewed effort towards their pledge of “helping people everywhere work and innovate together, so businesses can move faster and go bigger.”

Dialpad, created by the same team that built Google Voice, is the business communication system that moves with you, cutting the cord on your desk phone and offering you to the option to work from anywhere.

Thanks to Google’s Cloud Platform (which also powers Google Workspace) Dialpad is able to bring the power of voice to the tools your team uses every day like Salesforce, LinkedIn, and most importantly, productivity suites like Google Workspace.

Read on to learn more about how Second City’s move to the cloud saved their business after a devastating fire, and why you should be integrating with the only business phone system natively built for Google Workspace.

Simplified branding, renewed focus

The productivity suite includes popular business tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. These tools offer users real-time collaboration, with the ability to edit a doc or add a slide with team members live.

Google Workspace still includes these tools in addition to working on some new additions to the suite in the near future, with a specific focus on in-app integrations. All signs point towards Google’s renewed focus to streamline their productivity apps. Which means less pomp and circumstance and more pressure on single apps to do more for their users, especially when they’re on the move.

Why choose Google Workspace?

Hung up on making the switch? With Google Workspace, business owners can stay connected to their teams from anywhere in the world.

Since it's hosted on Google Cloud, all you need to access docs, slides, or calendar invites is an internet connection. That means that you can tackle work from Vancouver, the subway, downtown Tokyo, or your favorite coffee spot.

Most importantly, Google Workspace offers businesses all their team communication tools in one place. No more searching for that missing slide or the budget proposal. All of your communications are stored in one place, with easy access for your team to search, edit, and share.

Google Workspace gives Second City a second chance

There’s no question: implementing a new system to your team can be pretty painful. Plus it can be a big hit to your productivity.

That’s why the best systems out there work to integrate with the business tools that most companies use every day, drastically cutting down on time needed to train your team.

Take Second City. Their team needed to get up and running pronto after rebounding from a fire that burned through their data center.

With cloud-based collaboration software like Google Workspace and Dialpad, Second City was able to have their team up and running in just five business days. Talk about productive.

The integration with Google Apps is a lifesaver. And as a user, not having to fumble with a company directory, having it live within the application, is incredible.

Google Workspace and the anywhere worker

At Dialpad we’re on a mission to unlock your employees’ full potential. Here’s the bad news: it’s being wasted behind those cubicle walls.

With cloud-based platforms like Google Workspace + Dialpad, your team gains more flexibility than ever before to work outside the office. After all, working remotely grew by almost 80% in the US between 2005 and 2012, according to Global Workplace Analytics.

That’s because the average employee is getting their best work done outside the office (and don’t think their managers aren’t noticing). In fact, 61% of employees we surveyed said they’d prefer to work outside of the office at least one full day per week.

If you’re asking more from your team, why restrict where they can get "more" done? Dialpad natively integrates with Google Workspace so your contacts' shared emails, docs, and events are all displayed on one interface.

And integrating with Google Workspace gives your entire team the ability to:

• View calendar events, shared docs, or recent emails from any device
• Pull up your entire company directory within seconds
• And more!

This is the era of the anywhere worker. Work is done over coffee, bus stops, and Uber rides. If your team is already able to use any device to answer emails, edit docs, or schedule meetings, shouldn’t they be able to do the same with their phone?

We don’t just empower your team to work from anywhere, we make it a whole lot easier to do it. Sync with your Google contacts, link up with Salesforce Leads, and even pair up Execs with Assistants. Do all this and more with Dialpad for Google Workspace.
